Written materials and Inner Worlds – public writings of the OTOA and LCN

The value of written materials is undenied. It shows the creativity of a person and/group. It helps to explain their gnosis and serves as an inspiration for others. It can be a foundation on which other ideas are based and thus support evolution of thought within a continuum.

Sometimes Inner Order material may be released to the public without it causing any harm or disclosing the innermost secrets and gnosis. This is the case with some materials of the OTOA/LCN. Specifically the famous Voudon Gnostic Workbook and the 4 yr Courses of the Monastery of the 7Rays, all authored by a true spiritual Father and the Hierophant of the (Voudon) Gnostic Continuum, Master Michael Bertiaux.  

Although Master Bertiaux never cared nor intended to appeal to a mass market nor achieve anykind of fame, he and the Great Masters of the OTOA and LCN decided to make some teachings of the Orders available to the greater public in various degrees. Bertiaux has always had a great interest in Esoteric Healing and compassion for fellow seekers on the path to Gnostic enlightenment and knew that some of the results and modes of work of the research laboratories of the OTOA and LCN could indeed aid others, unconnected in a direct way to the Voudon Gnostic continuum, to develop as Gnostic individuals. And indeed this happened many times as evidenced by influence of those books on many foremost thinkers of contemporary occultism and spiritualism. Bertiaux always intended those materials to be inspirations to others, to give them aid in their spiritual quest, never intending to be dogmatic or worshipped.

But sometimes written thought can be more than that. These materials do also possess another layer. They contain secret doors which may be opened to admit the seeker into other universes and dimensions of esoteric voudon. Strange places of magical powers and spiritual energies, which contain powerful formulae for gnostic transformation. These realms are being hinted at in books and materials of the Orders, but the keys to unlock the doors leading to them are not in written form. The gates are being guared by the spirit wardens and human protectors of the Orders who operate in an esoteric symbiosis to admit only those loyal students capable to navigate these esoteric worlds.

Thus these deeper layers can only be penetrated through direct guidance and initiation by a few Masters of the Orders of OTOA and LCN. These few Masters hold special sacramental power and guide the members with potentials step by step to the revelation of the Inner Mysteries. These Inner Worlds also mean direct contact and work with the loas and spirits of the Voudon Gnostoc Continuum attached to the Orders. These families of spirits are patrons of the specific areas covered by the inner cults of the Orders. These areas can ONLY be accessed if one is formally attached to the initiatic chain of the Orders of the Hierophant Michael Bertiaux and the masters with sacramental power who transmit the Aflatus which serves as a magical link to the Inner Order.

It is impossible to achieve this link and access to the Inner Layers without being attached to the continuum of Michael Bertiaux and his appointed Masters as he is the sole Hierophant successor of the Jean-Maine family to which the spirits of the Inner Temple of this continuum are bonded and loyal. Only those who possess special powers coming through hierophantic initiation have the duty and can feed the energies from the Inner Orders to the Outer Courts.

These are actually very commonly understood laws in the esoteric world of afro-atlantean and other systems of spiritual transmission. In those systems, direct and personal empowerments and transmissions are the only valid and most powerful way of transfer of spiritual and magical powers. And these empowerments and spiritual transfers can only unfold and work if the person works INSIDE the magical and spiritual continuum governed by the Hierophant and spirit patrons of this continuum. There is no other way. So everyone who leaves the continuum or has been disconnected to it will loose his ability to enter the Inner Temples of the Voudon Gnosis and will loose the protection and support of the voudon gnostic spirits.

As explained before, only very few masters of the Orders have and had the powers and duty to serve as a bridge between the Inner and Outer Orders and who hold special sacramental powers to protect the Orders. While an initiate can be guided to the highest level of realization and empowerment of the Voudon Gnosis, the sacramental powers to confer and transfer powers to others are only possessed by an esoterically chosen few high priests within the Orders. These Masters have always worked inside the Orders and not once has one of those masters left the orders. There are esoteric reasons and laws which would make this impossible.

Now you understand why the Orders of OTOA and LCN freely offer insight into many areas of their work and even publish ‚secrets’ for others to study. It is for inspirational reasons and for spiritual growth only. It will not enable anyone not formally connected to the voudon gnostic continuum of Hierophant Michael Bertiaux to enter the Inner Orders or claim anykind of power. Much insight can be gained from study of the books outside the Orders and probably many ideas and transformations can occur. However, there is a limitation in this process and this limitation can be only transcended through initiatic contact with the sacramental masters and guides of the OTOA/LCN.

There will always be those claiming authority and powers in our continuum as the result of their own inadequacy to produce any valuable writings, ideas or systems of spiritual attainments. These people are nothing but slaves of their egos and blinded by illusion. The true Masters of the Voudon Gnosis will continue to work in their secret Temples of the OTOA and LCN like their spiritual ancestors have done for centuries before them. The Sanctum Sanctorum will remain unharmed and empower forever the high-priests of our Orders.
